Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The lodge was like a old farm house with a lot of bedrooms which is where we placed We did not have any heat control in our room no TV and all the rooms shared 2 bathrooms. Someone using the bathroom the next morning left such a awful odor people were gagging. No spray that we could find. The showers did not look all that appealing after other people used them.The bar has very limited drink choices and the restaurant had very limited choices. A hotel would have been a better choice.
This a historic Roadhouse, reminiscent of my grandparents farmhouse. The new owners are bringing back the charm and history. Beautifully set on the river. Next door is their own bar and restaurant. Met some fabulous vacationers and swapped stories.
Historic old lodge, in the country, and adjacent to a fast flowing river. Has alot of character and fun place to stay. Staff was very friendly and place was clean. I would recommend a newer bed mattress for the one we had sagged due to our weights . Would stay again.
